the best thing for cutting out fan blowholes is a hole saw; just get the right size and use a reg power drill. Those things last forever and they give you perfect holes every time. Just mark out where the center of the hole is going to be, drill a pilot hole there, then use the hole saw. Works every time - just be sure to have the piece your working on secured to your workspace. heres a link to show you guys what they look like:

you can find these at your local hardware store and theyre a little over 10 dollars or so
